Working Principles

The CAT25010VE-GT3D utilizes Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) technology. It stores data by electrically charging or discharging specific memory cells within the IC. The stored data can be read, modified, or erased using a serial interface.

During write operations, the CAT25010VE-GT3D applies a voltage to the selected memory cells, altering their charge state to represent the desired data. Reading data involves sensing the charge state of the memory cells and converting it into digital information.

The IC also incorporates write protection functionality, allowing users to enable or disable write operations through the Write Protect (WP) pin. This feature prevents accidental modification of stored data.
